OPERATION – HOW TO CHARGE
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING
Attention
This battery charger has a high charge rate of up to 12 Amps and low charge rate of up to
2 Amps. It is intended for charging only 6V/12V/24V Lead Acid-, Gel-, AGM- and Deep
Cycle batteries that are usually used in cars, trucks, farm equipment, boats, RVs and SUVs,
lawn mowers and garden tractors, motorcycles, personal water craft, snow mobiles, trucks
and various commercial applications.
This battery charger has also a 12V DC output socket which provides working current up to
12Amp for any 12V DC operated appliance.
PREPARING THE BATTERY
•
Determine voltage of battery by referring to car owner’s manual.
•
Make sure the initial charging rate is not over battery manufacturer’s suggestion.
•
If it is necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, or to clean terminals,
always remove grounded terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the
vehicle are off.
•
Firstly remove the caps from each cell and check that the level of the liquid is sufficient
in each cell. If it is below the recommended level, top up with de-ionized or distilled
water. Do not overfill. Under no circumstances should tap water be used. The cell caps
should not be replaced until charging is complete. This allows any gases formed during
charging to escape. It is inevitable that some minor escape of acid will occur during
charging. For permanently sealed battery, it is not necessary to carry out those
procedures.
•
Study all battery manufacturers’ specific precautions.
CONNECTING THE BATTERY
1. Please make sure the NFC1800 is not connected to AC Power.
2. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has larger
diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N,-) post.
3. First connect the positive charging lead (red) to the positive terminal post of the battery
(marked P or +). After that connect the negative charging lead (black) to the negative
terminal post of the battery (marked N or -) or the vehicle frame. It is important to
ensure that both DC clamps are making a good contact with their respective terminal
posts.
4. Connect the charger’s AC power cable to the mains with an adequate ground.
5. When disconnecting charger, disconnect AC cord first, remove clip from vehicle chassis,
and then remove clip from battery terminal.
6. Do not charge the battery while the engine is operating.
WARNING : A spark near the battery may cause battery explosion.
WARNING : When removing battery from vehicle or boat, disconnect grounded pole first.
When disconnecting, make sure all accessories are off, so as not to cause an
arc.
WARNING : When reinstalling battery, attach the ground post first.
WARNING : A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. (To charge
on board requires special equipment designed for marine use.)
WARNING : Do not face battery when making final connection.
WARNING : Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged.
